Related to that, would be whether the user was familiar with DVCS before starting to use git, or even familiar with VCS - the answers would be different for people for whom git is the first VCS they ever used, or for people having used other DVCS before... > Well, Git User's Surveys always served more or less accidentally as > the source of information about git and git community ("we have wiki?" > from the first survey ) Count me in for "we have git new-worktree ?" :) In fact, I found nothing by that name in git's tree or in the wiki's InterfacesFrontendsAndTools. Google finally pointed me to contrib/ where I noticed workdir/git-new-workdir. It may be worth to use a URL for publicizing non-mainstream stuff. That's better as publicizing goes, and makes it easy to crowdsource discovery of mistakes or outdated things.
